Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

I've been working with Viso on multiple projects. The first project was to create a web based SaaS product that would work with Mailchimp. This product would allow a user to do the following.

• create an account and sign in using LinkedIn auth
• link a user's mailchimp account
• create "smart forms" that would write data to the linked mailchimp account
• create "smart surveys" that would be embedded into an mailchimp account that receipients could take by clicking directly on the "smart survey" in the email and have that data be written directly to the recepient's profile on mailchimp
• create "smart links" that would be a URL that can be used like any other link in a mailchimp email campaign, but would capture and write additional data to the recepient'r profile on Mailchimp

The deliverables was a fully functioning web app. This project was completed on Jan of 2024. The current project that the Viso team is working on now is an Instagram Automation solution, leveraging LLMs

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They're great about communicating the breakdown of large tasks into smaller items, providing estimates, then providing the actual time giving you insights into their estimation process and accuracy of their estimations. 

What was your primary form of communication with Viso?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Honesty and Engagement. I've worked with several agencies and freelancers and what I've found most impressive of Viso are their honesty and engagement.

• Honesty 
  • They will do what they state. I've come across various freelancers who lie about their capabilities, work ethic, and working hours.
  • I've worked with various agencies who make statements and recommendations without researching the technology and dependencies that it jeapordizes projects.
  • Viso has been honest in our working relationship.
• Engagement 
  • Which ties in with Honesty. They will engage with you and provide feedback and recommendations. 
  • My past experiences with freelancers are that they will just do what is specified and they will ONLY do what is specified. If something is not spelled out, they will not do it. If something shouldn't be done a certain way, but you've asked them to do it, instead of advising against it, they'll just do it.
  • With Viso, it was more of a collaboration. They provided and acted like the CTO, providing feedback, recommendations and if they did not know, state they didn't know and would research it.
  • We've actually improved on the product because of their recommendations for both tech stack, UI, user flow, and even features.

They care about the success of your project and will advice as if it's their project, even if that means less work for them. It is because of these two factors (as well as their deliverables) that I've been working with them for over a year on multiple projects.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Viso could have done differently?

As of now - no. I have not come across a pain points with Viso. They've made my day to day easier. They are able to provide the technical expertise to advise, recommend, research, and execute to bring my projects to life.
